So of course I had to ask myself, after Scott's comment, "Why _do_ I do it that way?"

Well, as it turns out it's based on a D-spec handout I got from a 2004 COMMON.

I guess it's one of those things that I learned then never thought to question.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Kurt's example is actually identical to Jon's in the way it works. But I agree that Jon's code was much more elegant. I don't know why Kurt created the extra field, or why he overlaid it by hand.


Would be nice if IBM would just give use an INZARRAY keyword.

InzArray('*PGM':'*SRVPGM':'*CMD':'*FILE')

Ick.

What is your objection to the way Jon did it? Or if you don't like using a data structure, what is your objection to using CTDATA? I sure like CTDATA a lot better than the InzArray().
